Feminist English Literature

Feminism is a rapidly developing critical ideology of great promise. It has evolved into a philosophy encompassing diverse fields of human activity in society. The feminist theory, its varied articulations and its ramifications in a literary context constitute a significant segment for critical endeavour. The present anthology provides a broad spectrum on feminist English literature with in-depth analysis of the works of Kamala Das, Kamala Markandaya, Anita Desai, Rama Mehta, Shashi Deshpande, Uma Vasudevan, Githa Hariharan, Nina Sibal, Arundhati Roy, Mary Shelley, Jane Austen, Virginia Woolf, Margaret Atwood, Jean Rhys, Ellen Glasgow, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Toni Morrison and others. The volume also contains articles on feminist theory, the emerging self of women in Indian English fiction and general appraisal of women novelists as regards their portrayal of the woman’s question.
